The Future Without You — Max Pinckers & Thomas Sauvin. Published by Beijing Silvermine & Lyre Press.
I love when humor and seriousness come together in the same space. I love that Max Pinckers and Thomas Sauvin collaborated. I love that all these propaganda photos of happy, mostly white American men in suits were found in a Chinese trash can. I love the story at the back of the book. I love the way the book hints that AI is a phenomenon that has been evolving and morphing very slowly for a long long time.
